[Bug 960246] New: Enlarge swap for suspend is disabled
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=960246 Bug ID: 960246 Summary: Enlarge swap for suspend is disabled Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: arnold.mesper@yandex.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- When opening the suggested paritioning for editing by clicking "Edit Proposal Settings" on the "Suggested Partitioning" screen, the option "Enlarge Swap for Suspend" is deactivated and cannot be changed. As this option is disabled by default even on a system 25 GB of free space, the resulting system cannot be hibernated, as the swap partition is too small.

1) What is proposed size of swap that partitioner chooses? 2) Are you sure that you can not hibernate - if I recall correctly, hibernation image is compressed and not all content of ram needs to be copied there, thus it is not necessary to have swap of same size as ram. 3) Please attach yast logs as described here - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Report_a_YaST_bug -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Is this the reason, why the "Enlarge Swap for Suspend" checkbox is deactivated? The hibernate problem - well, after some investigation it looks like VirtualBox does not support sleep or hibernate for guests. Well, then I will use VirtualBox's save machine state functionality instead. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ah, if swap size = RAM size is sufficient for suspend to disk and hibernate, then the default proposal is correct: 2 GB swap for a VM with 2 GB RAM. Is this the reason, why the "Enlarge Swap for Suspend" checkbox is deactivated? It seems very likely to be the reason.
The hibernate problem - well, after some investigation it looks like VirtualBox does not support sleep or hibernate for guests. Well, then I will use VirtualBox's save machine state functionality instead.
